Does sucralfate cause weight gain?

I completely understand why you are worried, health changes can make anyone super anxious. Rest assured, this medicine acts locally in the stomach, so weight gain is very unlikely to happen.

I just finished a month-long course of sucralfate for my stomach ulcers. I didn't gain any weight at all, though my bloating actually went down once my stomach healed.

Agreed, it doesn't cause weight gain. Just drink plenty of water as it can sometimes cause mild constipation.

Practically speaking, weight gain isn't a documented side effect of sucralfate. If you notice any changes, check your diet or overall activity levels during recovery.

Even if it is generally safe, any sudden change in weight should be discussed with your doctor. Better to get a quick checkup to rule out other issues.

With my thyroid, I always track my weight closely. Since sucralfate can interfere with other medicines, make sure to take your regular tests and discuss the timing of your doses with your doctor.

I usually prefer warm water and saunf for stomach heat, but for ulcers, sucralfate is needed. It shouldn't cause weight gain, but do visit your doctor if your stomach pain gets severe.

Haan na, stomach issues ke medicines se weight gain nahi hota. Actually digestion improve hota hai toh hum thoda better feel karte hain, bas wahi hai.

I can only tell you about my personal experience with it last year. My weight remained exactly the same throughout the two months I took this syrup for my gastritis.
